LONG BEACH - The memories of the Killing Fields genocide are never far removed from the Cambodian refugee population in Long Beach.
On Saturday, those memories will be front and center at the Art Theater, with the screening of "Enemies of the People," an award-winning and chilling documentary film that features interviews with peasant executioners and Nuon Chea, the former right-hand man or "Brother Number Two" in the Khmer Rouge, whose brutal reign led to the deaths of upward of 2 million people between 1975 and 1979.
Because of the sensitive nature of the film and the memories it could stir, particularly among the many survivors in Long Beach's Cambodian community, Cambodian leaders are scrambling to put together a meeting to help those who want to see the movie understand and process what they will witness, or, indeed, whether they want to attend.
